Avatar Testing Tool

[gentlecolts]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

One of the great things about Resonite is how useful it is as a testing tool when making avatars, as I can drag n drop my current mesh in and have something ready to test in seconds, without having to go through any weird sdk/upload process. However, I find it is usually prohibitive to get into vr while I'm doing rapid prototyping, I may be traveling, or otherwise just not able to access every single input feature a user might.

Describe the solution you'd like

Introduction of a tool for testing avatars that does not require the avatar to be equipped, and can be used effectively from vr, desktop, etc. This tool should:

• Provide posing functionality, as this is important for testing weight painting, full body, etc. Ideally some common test pose presets should be built into the tool, bonus points for ability to save created poses.
• Also ability for activating the platform's existing animations, such as walking, jumping, crouching, etc
• Ability to trigger the radial menu of the not-equipped avatar as if it were equipped
• Tools for simulating face/eye tracking

Describe alternatives you've considered

There may be more features/functions worth having an out-of-body test for, open to discussion

Additional Context

Resonite has become an essential part of my avatar creation workflow due to how easy it makes rapid prototyping, further enhancements to that use case are greatly appreciated

For additional clarity, one of the reasons why in-game posing is valuable over, say, doing the same kind of posing in blender for example, is that in-game posing would presumably be using Resonite's IK, which does not have one-to-one behavior with other applications, so just doing that in another application isn't really enough. I typically test my avatars in full body regularly while in development, but it'd be a ton easier if I could see the pose from the outside, and even better if I didn't even need to be in VR in the first place
